Your comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) depend on a well-maintained heating and cooling system. Remember to change the air filter on your furnace, air conditioner (AC), or heat pump at least every 90 days. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), an AC with a clean filter uses as much as 15 percent less energy than an AC with a dirty one.

When you adjust the temperature setting, your thermostat monitors the room or rooms it’s set up in. Each time the air dips below or exceeds the target temperature, your thermostat sends an electric signal to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. Once it reaches that temperature, your thermostat tells your air control equipment to go on standby.

Zone controls are a series of dampers retrofitted in your ductwork, coupled with thermostats. They block or permit air from entering customized zones throughout your home. Zoning allows you to control different temperatures in different parts of your home.
